Abstract

This paper explores the status, significance, and multifaceted role of the Holy Qur’an in the life and teachings of Imam Ali (A.S.), the Commander of the Faithful. The Qur’an, as the miraculous Word of God, is a universal and eternal guide for humanity, offering a complete code of life, knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. Imam Ali (A.S.), recognized as the “Speaking Qur’an,” played a pivotal role in the compilation, interpretation, and practical application of the Qur’anic message. His sermons and sayings, especially as recorded in *Nahj al-Balaghah*, highlight various attributes of the Qur’an, describing it as a sincere advisor, a guide that never misleads, a healing remedy, a source of divine light, and a treasure trove of knowledge.
According to Imam Ali (A.S.), true adherence to the Qur’an extends beyond mere recitation or memorization; it demands reflection, implementation of its commandments, and aligning one's life with its teachings. The inseparable link between the Qur’an and Imam Ali (A.S.) implies that neglecting one equates to turning away from the other. Ultimately, the paper concludes that success and salvation—in both worldly and spiritual realms—depend on sincere attachment to the Qur’an and its living interpreter, Imam Ali (A.S.).
